The  Liddell-Tompkins  Engine. 


We  present  in  this  circular  two  views  of  the  Liddell-Tompkins 
Engine,  and  desire  to  call  particular  attention  to  the  design,  which  is 
hased  on  a  long  and  varied  experience  in  engine  building  and  a  thorough 
examination  of  the  latest  improvements  in  that  line.  It  will  be  noticed 
that  the  line  of  strain  is  straight  through  the  centre  of  the  frame,  having 
as  much  strength  above  as  below  it,  thus  avoiding  all  inclination  to 
spring. 

Everything  about  this  engine  is  free  from  any  complications.  It  is 
especially  adapted  and  built  with  a  view  to  an  increase  of  speed,  thereby 
increasing  the  power  over  other  slide  valve  engines  in  general  use.  The 
piston  and  valve  rods  are  of  steel  and  the  crank  is  a  solid  forging  slotted. 
The  governor  used  is  accurate  and  has  a  speeding  attachment  and  safety 
stop. 

Each  engine  is  balanced  and  tested  before  leaving  our  works. 
We  manufacture  six  sizes  of  these  engines,  varying  in  power  from 
"twelve  to  forty  horse,  as  indicated  in  specifications. 

We  invite  a  careful  examination  of  the  cuts  and  specifications.

The  Improved  New  Era  Boiler. 

The  New  Era  Boiler!)  as  been  on  the  market  over  ten  years,  during  which  not  less 
than  1,000  have  been  sold  and  put  into  use,  and  experience  has  proven  that  they 
are  not  only  the  cheapest,  but  also  the  safest  and  most  economical  portable  boiler 
in  use.  The  principle  of  this  boiler  having  been  thoroughly  established,  we  have 
removed  the  only  objection  that  was  ever  made  to  it,  and  now  present  to  the  trade 
and  our  customers  the  Improved  New  Era. 

The  boiler  is  cylindrical  in  form,  the  upper  half  of  the  shell  at  the  furnace  end 
being  extended  to  receive  the  front  casting  and  form  the  combustion  chamber. 
The  furnace  is  formed  by  a  plate  of  iron  bolted  to  the  boiler  and  closed  at  each  end 
by  suitable  castings,  in  which  are  the  door  and  draft  openings.  The  sides  of  the 
furnace,  front  castings,  sides  and  top  of  the  combustion  chamber  are  lined  with  ./ire 
bricks.  The  principal  draft  is  at  the  rear  end  of  the  furnace,  and  the  products  of 
combustion  pass  forward  into  the  combustion  chamber  and  from  there  into  the 
tubes. 

In  the  old  style  New  Era  Boiler  the  bricks  with  which  the  furnace  was  lined 
were  of  special  shapes  and  hard  to  obtain,  except  from  the  manufacturers.  In  the 
Improved  New  Era  the  furnace  is  lined  with  bricks  of  ordinary  sbax»es,  and  the 
castings  which  hold  them  in  position  not  being  exposed  to  the  heat  of  the  furnace, 
seldom  require  to  be  renewed,  but  will  last  for  years.  And  while  we  would  always 
recommend  the  use  of  fire  bricks,  as  they  are  more  durable,  they  are  not  a  necessity, 
as  the  lining  may  be  renewed  at  any  lime  and  with  very  little  trouble,  with  the 
ordinary  clay  bricks. 

The  weakest  and  most  exposed  parts  of  the  ordinary  portable  boiler  are  the 
crown  sheet  and  furnace  sides.  They  require  to  be  heavily  stayed  to  resist  the  press- 
ure; and  although  most  exposed  to  the  tire,  are  yet  the  parts  most  liable  to  injury, 
caused  by  low  water  or  deposits  of  sediment.  The  first  part  exposed  by  low  water 
is  the  crown  sheet,  which  is  at  all  times  subjected  to  the  greatest  heat,  and  yet  has 
always  the  least  water  to  protect  it.  The  sides  of  the  furnace  are  ready  receptacles 
for  the  deposit  of  mud  and  all  impurities  of  the  water,  while  the  numerous  stay 
bolts  required  to  strengthen  them  make  them  the  most  difficult  parts  of  the  boiler  to 
keep  clean.  As  a  result,  the  furnace  of  the  portable  boiler  is  the  great  source  of 
danger  and  expense  for  repairs. 

In  the  New  Era  these  objections  to  the  portable  boiler  are  removed,  while  at  the 
same  time  the  elements  of  portability  and  convenience  are  fully  retained.  In  this 
boiler  we  have  no  flat  crown  sheet,  no  furnace  sides  to  fill  with  mud  and  burn  out, 
no  stay  bolts,  and  but  one  seam  exposed  to  the  fire.  Instead  of  having  less  water  over 
the  crown  sheet  than  in  any  other  part  of  the  boiler,  we  there  have  more,  and  the 
effect  of  low  water  is  not  to  expose  the  crown  sheet,  but  the  upper  row  of  tubes, 
which  may  cause  a  leak,  but  not  an  explosion,  and  will  not  endanger  life.  The  fire-brick 
lining  in  the  sides,  when  worn  out,  is  easily  replaced  at  a  trifling  expense,  and  the 
great  cost  of  repairs  to  which  the  ordinary  portable  boiler  is  subject  is  saved.  Thus 
it  will  be  seen  that  the  greatest  objections  to  the  use  of  the  portable  boiler,  viz., 
danger  to  life  and  expense  for  repairs,  are  removed.

The  Improved  New  Era  Boiler. 

(Continued  from  page  7.) 


One  great  objection  to  the  common  form  of  Portable  Boiler  is  that  they  are 
wasteful  of  fuel,  and  it  is  only  their  great  convenience  and  portability  that  make 
them  a  favorite  form  of  boiler.  The  waste  of  fuel  is  due  mostly  to  defective  com- 
bustion. When  fresh  fuel  is  thrown  into  the  furnace  a  large  share  of  the  gases  is 
set  free  at  a  low  temperature  and  passes  directly  into  the  tubes,  and  out  through 
the  chimney  uuconsumed,  and  this  continues  till  the  fuel  and  gases  are  heated  to 
the  combustion  point.  Here  is  not  only  a  heavy  direct  loss  from  waste  of  uncon- 
sumed  gases,  but  also  an  indirect  loss  occasioned  by  deposits  of  soot  in  the  tubes, 
thus  impeding  the  draft  and  preventing  the  absorption  of  heat  by  the  water  through 
the  tubes.  The  furnace  sides  in  the  ordinary  Portable  Boiler  can  get  no  hotter  than 
the  water  contained  in  them — say  300  degrees,  and  of  course  do  little  toward  pro- 
moting combustion  in  the  furnace;  while  in  the  "New  Era  ''  Boiler,  the  lining  of 
the  furnace  and  combustion  chamber  being  fire-brick,  is  soon  raised  to  very  high 
temperature — say  1,500  or  2,000  degrees,  and  when  fresh  fuel  is  thrown  in  the  gases 
set  free — instead  of  passing  directly  into  the  tubes  and  being  wasted— must  pass 
forward  and  into  the  combustion  chamber,  and  from  thence  into  the  tubes;  during 
all  this  time  being  surrounded  and  brought  into  immediate  contact  with  the  fire- 
brick at  this  high  temperature,  almost  perfect  combustion  of  the  gases  is  attained, 
so  that  little  or  no  smoke  comes  out  of  the  stack.  Thus  great  economy  of  fuel  is  the 
result,  not  only  directly  by  the  combustion  of  the  gases  that  are  unconsumed  in  the 
other  styles  of  furnaces,  but  indirectly  by  lessening  the  deposit  of  soot  in  the  tubes, 
and  affording  better  draft  and  absorption. 

Thus,  any  kind  of  fuel  can  be  successfully  used — a  saw  mill  for  instance,  can  be 
run  all  day  on  the  green  slabs  just  from  the  saw.  The  furnace  is  large,  the  heating 
and  evaporating  surfaces  are  large,  and  it  combines  with  the  safety  of  a  stationary 
boiler  the  convenience  and  portability  of  a  portable.

We  wish  to  call  your  special  attention  to  the  LIDDELL  PATENT 
VAEIABLE  EEICTION  FEED  SAW  MILL,  the  only  Variable  Feed 
Mill  awarded  a  medal  of  the  First  Class  at  the  World's  Exposition  at 
New  Orleans,  for  which  we  claim  the  following  advantages  : 

1st— Feed  instantly  changed  from  FASTEST  to  SLOWEST  at 
pleasure. 

2d— Feed  VARIABLE  or  FIXED,  as  desired. 

3d — No  strain  on  Mandrel  to  cause  springing. 

4th — No  heating  of  saw  from  a  hot  journal  box. 

5th — 20  to  30  per  cent,  greater  capacity  than  other  mills. 

6th — BULL  DOGS  enabling  the  sawyer  to  cut  the  last  board  true, 
three-quarters  of  an  inch  thick. 

7th — BULL  DOGS  clamp  the  board  above  and  below.  Operated 
by  one  lever. 

8th — Ratchet  Head  Blocks  and  accurate  Set  Works.

The  "Standard"  Mills. 


In" these  mills  the  disc  or  friction  plate  is  attached  to  the  mandrel  and  the 
power  is  taken  from  it  by  means  of  two  frictions  bearing  upon  opposite  sides  of  the 
disc.  By  the  use  of  a  compound  lever  the  friction  wheels  are  moved  to  and  from 
contact  with  the  disc  by  a  forward  and  backward  movement  of  the  perpendicular 
lever.  The  other  lever,  moving  in  the  same  direction,  throws  the  feeding  friction 
wheel  across  the  face  of  the  disc,  the  wheel  sliding  on  a  feather  key.  The  backing 
friction,  on  the  opposite  side  of  the  disc,  will  run  in  an  opposite  direction,  and 
serves  to  back  the  carriage.  This  friction  is  made  of  suitable  size  to  back  the  car- 
riage at  any  desired  speed,  to  suit  the  ideas  of  all  sawyers,  the  adjustment  being 
made  by  means  of  a  set  screw.  The  pressure  on  the  disc  necessary  to  operate  the 
carriage  is  not  against  the  mandrel,  as  is  the  case  in  the  old  style  Mills,  but  is  with 
its  length,  so  that  instead  of  being  a  drawback,  disturbing  the  mandrel  in  its  bear- 
ings, the  tendency  is  to  give  the  saw  a  lead  into  the  log  while  the  carriage  is  being 
fed  to  the  saw  and  to  throw  the  saw  away  from  the  log  while  the  carriage  is  run- 
ning back.  Experience  has  shown  that  this  actually  takes  place,  the  saw  running 
clear  of  the  log  iu  its  backward  movement,  and  keeping  the  lumber  free  from  scars. 
Our  Variable  Feed  Saw  Mills  give  to  the  lumberman  the  advantages  of  an 
instant  change  from  the  fastest  to  the  slowest  rate  of  speed,  or  to  any  intermediate 
feed  that  may  be  required,  by  a  single  stroke  of  a  lever.  The  great  advantage  of 
this  will  at  once  appear.  It  enables  the  sawyer  to  use  his  power  to  its  fullest  capac- 
ity at  all  times.  When  the  logs  are  large  and  power  light  there  need  be  no  stop- 
ping of  the  carriage  to  allow  the  exhausted  power  to  be  recovered,  as  is  so  ofien 
done  when  small  engines  are  used.  The  log  can  be  fed  to  the  saw  so  as  to  give  the 
engine  all  it  can  do  and  no  more,  and  thus  also  avoid  the  sudden  jerks  to  which 
these  engines  are  subjected.  On  the  other  hand,  if  the  timber  is  light  the  small 
eugine  can  be  made  to  cut  as  fast  as  a  large  one  on  the  old  style  mill.  A  gain  of 
from  twenty  to  thirty-five  per  cent,  of  cutting  power  is  made.  This  is  the  verdict 
of  sawyers  and  those  who  operate  these  mills. 

The  variation  in  the  feed  is  made  by  moving  a  friction  wheel  from  the  centre  to 
the  periphery  of  a  disc  or  plate,  which  is  kept  revolving  when  the  mill  is  running. 
There  are  several  ways  of  attaching  this  disc  to  the  moving  parts  of  the  Mill,  and 
we  have  patented  and  now  manufacture  two  styles  of  Mills,  so  as  to  meet  the  dif- 
ferent ideas  of  saw  mill  men,  both  of  these  styles  being  illustrated  in  this  circular.

The  "Clipper"  Mill. 

In  this  mill  the  power  for  feeding  the  carriage  to  the  saw  is  taken 
from  the  mandrel  by  means  of  a  mitre  gear.  This  keeps  the  disc  revolv- 
ing as  fast  as  the  saw  turns,  and  the  friction  wheel  is  moved  across  the 
face  of  the  disc  by  a  lever  which  is  operated  by  the  sawyer's  knee,  the 
friction  wheels  sliding  on  a  feather  key.  The  friction  on  the  reverse  side 
of  the  plate  will,  of  course,  move  in  an  opposite  direction,  and  by  means 
of  this  the  carriage  is  run  back.  This  friction  is  made  of  such  a  size  as 
will  move  the  carriage  back  as  rapidly  as  it  is  safe  to  move  it,  but  the 
speed  of  this  movement  can  be  adjusted  according  to  the  ideas  of  each 
sawyer  by  means  of  a  set  screw. 

In  this  mill,  the  power  for  feeding  the  carriage  being  taken  from  the 
mandrel  by  means  of  a  gear  attached  as  closely  as  possible  to  the  bear- 
ing, the  mandrel  is  not  subjected  to  the  sudden  and  violent  pressure 
brought  to  bear  upon  it  in  the  old  style  mills,  and  being  less  disturbed 
in  its  bearings  will  run  truer  and  avoid  the  difficulties  and  annoyances  of 
heated  collars.  To  avoid  the  noise  incident  to  iron  gears  running  at  a 
high  rate  of  speed,  we  have  made  the  one  on  the  mandrel  a  mortise  gear, 
the  cogs  being  made  of  the  best  dry  persimmon  wood.  The  shaft  to 
which  the  friction  plate  is  attached  runs  in  a  solid  iron  frame  (connected 
bearing)  and  is  heavily  shouldered,  giving  what  is  equivalent  to  four  set 
collars  on  this  shaft,  as  safeguard  against  wear  and  undue  strain  on  the 
hubs  of  the  friction  plate  and  mitre  gears. 


The  Improved  Clipper  Mill 

The  cut  on  page  17  presents  our  Improved  Clipper  mill.  While 
called  the  Improved  Clipper  it  is  in  reality  a  combination  of  our  Clipper 
and  Standard  mills,  both  of  which  are  described  in  this  catalogue  and 
are  well  known  to  the  trade. 

In  the  Clipper  mill  the  power  for  moving  the  carriage  is  transmitted 
from  the  mandrel  by  means  of  a  gear,  and  the  backward  and  forward 
motion  of  the  carriage,  and  the  variation  in  speed,  is  obtained  from  fric- 
tions operating  on  opposite  sides  of  the  disc. 

In  the  Standard  mill  the  disc  is  on  the  mandrel  and  the  power  is 
transmitted  from  it  by  frictions  and  two  sets  of  bevel  gears. 

In  the  Improved  Clipper  mill  there  are  two  discs,  one  on  the  man- 
drel, and  one  at  right  angles  to  it,  the  power  being  conveyed  by  frictions, 


llllllllllinilllmi]  hi  i  mi  mi  i  n;n  ii  rim  ni  i  ii  11  ii  nn  ii  1 1  limn  milium  nn  ii  11  n  mm  ii  ii  ii  11 1 


III  llll  Hill!  Illl  Ml  IHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIHIIIIIIIIHIIIIHIIHIII  llllll  IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIII H 1 1  ■  ll  1 1 H 1 1 1  II  I  11  II  III  HI  I II  III 

thus  dispensing  with  all  bevel  gears.  The  disc  is  attached  to  the  man- 
drel by  means  of  a  feather  key,  which  prevents  friction  on  the  collar  of 
the  mandrel.  The  thrust  of  the  disc  from  the  main  friction  and  the 
spring  which  holds  it  in  its  place,  is  against  a  babbitted  face  in  the 
mandrel  box.  The  mandrel  is  thus  freed  from  any  strain  either  against 
it  or  with  its  length.  A  lever  is  connected  with  the  friction  on  the  main 
disc,  thus  giving  all  the  variations  in  feed  obtainable  in  the  Standard 
mill,  while  the  other  disc  and  frictions  give  all  the  variations  in  feed  of 
the  Clipper  mill.  The  variations  can  thus  be  made  at  one  or  both  places 
separately,  or  at  the  same  time. 

In  this  mill,  therefore,  we  have  an  instant  variation  from  a  sixteenth 
of  an  inch  feed  to  a  four  inch  feed,  and  have  accomplished  this  result 
without  adding  any  complicated  machinery,  but,  on  the  other  hand, 
have  actually  dispensed  with  all  bevel  gears.  In  fact,  we  have  combined 
in  this  mill  the  best  features  of  the  two  Best  Variable  Feed  Mills  known, 
and  have  dispensed  with  the  only  objections  that  have  ever  been  raised 
to  either  of  them.  The  mill  is,  therefore,  no  experiment,  having  no 
features  which  are  not  in  actual  use  on  our  mills  in  every  State  from 
Pennsylvania  to  Texas.  The  Special  Award  given  it  at  the  Augusta 
Exposition  and  the  unusual  attention  and  commendation  it  received 
while  in  active  operation  there,  confirms  our  own  estimate  of  its  com- 
pleteness. 

As  will  appear  from  the  detailed  specifications  given  elsewhere,  it  is 
of  the  same  size  as  the  Standard  and  Clipper  mills,  and  when  sent  out 
will  have  attached  to  it  our  well-known  head  blocks  and  bull  dogs. 

The  advantages  we  claim  for  this  mill  not  especially  belonging  to 
our  other  variable  feed  mills,  consists  of  greater  durability,  a  wider 
range  of  feed  than  heretofore  given,  and  of  a  variation  by  lever  in  the 
gig-back.

Ordinary  Friction  Mills. 

In  addition  to  the  variable  feed  mills  shown  on  the  foregoing  pages, 
we  also  continue  to  build  the  ordinary  friction  mills  with  three  changes 
of  feed  by  means  of  a  belt  and  cone  pulleys.  These  mills  are  made 
strong  and  durable,  some  of  them  having  been  in  use  ten  years.  We 
make  three  sizes,  the  smallest  being  heavier  than  our  variable  feed  Pony 
mill  and  the  largest  corresponding  to  our  Standard  No.  4  in  size. 
Nos.  2  and  3  have  all  our  latest  improvements  in  the  carriage,  saw  guide, 
head  blocks  and  bulldogs,  and  No.  1  has  the  latest  carriage  and  head 
blocks,  but  is  not  sent  out  with  the  bulldogs  unless  specially  ordered, 
and  at  a  slight  advance  on  the  list  prices  quoted. 

Note  carefully  the  specifications  given  below,  which  will  give  a  cor- 
rect idea  of  the  sizes,  both  in  relation  to  each  other  and  to  our  mills  of 
the  variable  feed  type. 

The  cut  on  page  18  represents  our  No.  1  mill  and  that  on  page  20 
our  No.  3.  The  No.  2  mill  is  similar  to  the  No.  3,  except  that  it  is 
smaller.

Liddell's  Patent  Ratchet  Head  Blocks. 

The  cuts  in  this  circular  represent  our  well-known  Patent  Ratchet  Head 
Block,  in  which  we  have  recently  made  great  improvements,  and  can  establish  for 
them  superiority  over  all  others  for  convenience  and  reliability.  We  call  your 
attention  to  the  following  points: 

First. — They  are  both  Independent  and  Simultaneous  Acting,  operated  by  one 
Lever,  and  controlled  by  the  Sawyer  without  change  of  position.  By  use  of  a 
double  pawl  and  base  attached  to  the  upright  lever  the  ratchet  wheel  is  thrown 
back  or  forward  at  the  will  of  the  operator.  By  pressing  the  foot  on  a  treadle,  the 
Blocks  become  independent  and  remain  so  as  long  as  the  treadle  is  kept  down.  The 
moment  the  foot  is  removed  the  blocks  again  become  simultaneous  (as  shown  in  the 
cut),  the  Clutch  being  thrown  into  gear  by  means  of  a  Spring  acting  on  one  end 
against  a  collar  and  the  other  against  the  Clutch.  Thus,  without  the  slightest 
inconvenience,  a  tapering  cut  can  be  made  whenever  desired.  The  Clutch  and 
Ratchet  Wheel  being  indexed,  the  Sawyer  can  always  tell  when  his  Blocks  are  in 
line. 

Second. — Any  size  of  Lumber  can  be  Cut. — The  throw  of  the  Lever  is  easily 
adjusted,  from  one-eighth  of  an  inch  upward,  and  the  operator  once  knowing  the 
size  of  lumber  to  be  sawed,  can  set  the  throw  accordingly,  and  need  not  further 
regard  the  pointer. 

Third. —  The  Swivel  to  which  the  log  Dog  is  attached  is  so  arranged  that 
when  not  in  use  the  Dog  can  be  placed  in  any  desired  position  and  never  falls  in  the 
way  of  the  Saw,  or  interferes  in  any  way  with  the  operator. 

Fourth.— Our  Indicator. — We  furnish  with  these  Head  Blocks,  when  desired, 
at  an  extra  cost,  an  Indicator  to  enable  the  Operator,  if  sawing  boards,  to  tell  at  a 
glance  what  should  be  the  thickness  of  the  last  or  fourth  slab  in  order  to  bring  out 
the  last  piece  to  the  same  thickness  as  the  rest  of  the  stock.  This  device  we  believe 
to  be  the  simplest  and  cheapest  yet  gotten  up  for  the  purpose. 

Fifth. — Our  Patent  BULL  DOG. — We  call  particular  attention  to  our 
patent  DOG  for  holding  the  last  board  or  for  clamping  the  timber  after  it  is  squared. 
At  once  strong  and  tenacious,  we  adopt  the  name  given  it  by  common  consent  of 
those  using  it,  and  it  is  now  generally  known  as  THE  BULL  DOG.  A  glance  at 
the  cut  will  show  that  in  this  Dog  we  have  accomplished  what  has  been  sought  by 
sawyers  and  manufacturers  of  saw  mills,  and  on  which  the  best  inventive  talent  of 
the  country  has  been  employed  for  years,  to  wit :  An  Upper  and  Under  Dog  operated 
by  one  Lever.  The  sectional  view  of  the  knee  of  the  Head  Block  with  the  Dog 
attached,  shows  the  Dogs  in  the  position  they  occupy  when  not  in  use,  the  lower 
having  dropped  below  the  level  of  the  Block  and  the  upper  having  receded  back  of 
the  face  of  the  Knee.  The  other  cut  of  the  Knee  shows  the  Bull  Dogs  in  use  and 
holding  the  board.  The  Lever  is  so  shaped  that  when  raised  up  it  pushes  off  of  its 
rest  the  Carrier  block.  This,  which  has  the  Lever  and  Dog  attached  to  it,  drops 
down  until  the  Dog  comes  in  contact  with  the  log.  Pressure  on  the  Lever  drives 
the  lower  Dog  in  until  the  rack  bar  moves  up  the  leugth  of  the  slot,  when  the 
upper  dog  enters  and  the  log  is  clamped  as  between  the  jaws  of  a  vise.  Raising 
the  Lever  loosens  the  Dogs,  and  the  Carrier  Block  is  raised  up  by  a  pull  on  the 
Lever  to  the  top  of  the  Knee,  when  it  drops  back  out  of  the  way  of  the  log.  It  is 
simple,  durable,  and  easily  handled  and  surpasses  in  its  efficiency  and  convenience 
anything  yet  gotten  up  for  dogging  timber.

A  Word  About  Our  Presses. 


Eleven  years  in  the  building  of  cotton  presses,  over  3,000  in  use 
and  to-day  the  largest  manufacturers  of  this  line  of  machinery  in  the 
United  States,  and  perhaps  in  the  world.  These  are  facts  which  speak 
in  stronger  terms  of  the  merits  of  our  presses  than  anything  else  that 
could  be  said.  Our  success  in  this  line,  out  of  which  all  our  other  busi- 
ness has  grown,  is  attributed  to  three  facts  :  First,  that  the  principle 
of  our  presses  is  that  best  adapted  to  the  purpose  ;  Second,  that  we  give 
close  attention  to  all  of  the  details  of  the  press,  having  in  operation  a 
system  by  which  a  duplicate  part  of  any  of  our  presses,  furnished  years 
ago,  can  be  supplied  promptly  and  with  the  assurance  that  it  will  fit  its 
place  without  trouble  ;  Thirdly,  that  we  use  in  our  presses  the  very  best 
iron  that  can  be  bought,  paying  therefor  from  $5  to  $7  per  ton  more 
than  iron  used  for  ordinary  purposes,  with  a  greater  difference  as  against 
cheaper  grades. 

Starting  with  the  Boss  press,  our  line  has  gradually  grown  to  meet 
the  various  wants  of  different  sections  of  the  country  from  Virginia  to 
Texas,  and  the  special  requirements  of  planters  large  and  small,  until 
we  are  now  actually  making  twelve  different  styles  and  sizes  of  presses. 
With  this  variety  it  would  seem  strange  if  we  could  not  meet  the  wants 
of  any  planter. 

We  invite  an  examination  of  the  cuts,  descriptions  and  specifica- 
tions which  follow.

The  Boss  Press. 


The  "  Boss  "  press  has  been  on  the  market  eleven  years,  and  over 
3,000  are  now  in  successful  operation  throughout  the  entire  cotton 
growing  section,  from  Virginia  to  Texas.  By  its  simplicity,  durability, 
and  the  small  amount  of  power  required  to  operate  it,  it  has  won  its  way 
to  popular  favor  with  a  rapidity  unequaled  by  any  similar  machine  now 
used. 

In  the  construction  of  the  "  Boss  "  press  we  have  been  careful  to 
maintain  a  correct  proportion  of  weight  to  the  strength  required  of  the 
several  parts,  and  to  overcome  mechanical  inconveniences  and  difficulties 
which  add  to  the  work  of  the  operator  and  make  his  task  burdensome. 
There  are  no  bolts  or  pins  in  the  frame  ;  it  requires  no  mechanic  to  put 
it  together,  and  any  person,  with  the  help  of  two  or  three  laborers,  can 
set  it  up  in  a  few  hours  ;  and  it  can  be  taken  down  as  often  as  desirable 
without  injury. 

Though  apparently  wooden,  it  is  substantially  an  iron  press.  The 
columns  are  in  halves,  and  are  in  three  sections,  being  held  together  by 
cast  flanges  on  the  end,  and  a  heavy  iron  rod  passes  through  each  from 
top  to  bottom  of  the  press,  the  columns  merely  acting  as  slip  collars.  It 
has  two  heavy  screws,  made  of  3^-inch  round  steel,  which  work 
inside  the  box  ;  and  the  follower  block,  being  always  parallel  with 
the  top  or  bottom  block  as  the  case  may  be,  according  as  the  press  is 
made  to  pack  up  or  down,  an  even  bale  is  absolutely  assured. 

The  power  is  applied  by  one  belt,  which  runs  all  the  time,  a  clutch 
attachment  being  so  arranged  that  the  gears  are  thrown  out  or  the  fol- 
lower is  made  to  move  up  or  down  at  the  pleasure  of  the  operator.

The  Boss  Down  Press. 


Experience  has  proven  that  our  No.  2  Boss  press  is  best  adapted  to 
down  packing.  Heretofore  we  have  sent  it  out  the  same  as  the  up- 
packing  press  turned  upside  down.  This  season  we  present  to  our  trade 
a  down  packing  press  built  on  the  No.  2  press  principle  with  the  following 
additions  and  advantages,  which  must  place  it  in  the  front  rank  of  down 
packing  presses  : 

1st — A  bed  plate  resting  on  a  solid  platform  instead  of  being  divided 
between  two  sills. 

2d — A  top  door  opening  to  the  line  of  the  gin  floor  that  the  cotton 
may  be  shoved  into  the  box  directly  from  the  gm. 

3d — Two  pulleys  of  different  sizes  with  a  clutch  between  them,  the 
one  being  small  to  permit  of  the  follower  being  run  down  one  or  more 
times  on  the  cotton  at  a  high  speed,  and  the  other  of  sufficient  size  to 
give  proper  power  to  press  the  bale  ;  thus  giving  a  self -tramping  press 
and  saving  the  expense  of  a  tramper  in  the  box. 

4th — Door  fastenings  (same  as  on  our  Single  Screw  Boss)  which 
may  be  unloosed  with  the  movement  of  one  lever,  and  which  free  all  the 
doors  at  once,  the  fastenings  being  left  swinging  in  the  positions  they 
occupy  when  the  doors  are  closed,  and  thus  are  easily  hooked  together. 

5th — A  simple  trip  for  automatically  throwing  the  press  out  of 
gear  both  when  the  follower  runs  down  on  the  bale  and  when  it  runs  up. 
This  trip  is  readily  adjustable,  and,  therefore,  can  be  set  to  make  a  bale 
of  any  size  within  the  capacity  of  the  press.

Boss  Single  Screw  Press. 


In  this  press  we  have  endeavored  to  meet  every  requirement  of  the 
baler  and  at  a  price  at  which  it  is  impossible  to  furnish  any  of  our 
double  screw  presses.  In  its  main  features  the  frame  is  the  same  as  the 
Boss  and  No.  2,  but  the  method  of  moving  the  follower  is  different,  as  is 
also  the  door  clamps.  The  latter  are  unloosed  at  once  by  a  pull  on  the 
handle  hanging  down  near  the  corner,  as  shown  in  the  cut.  The  doors 
are  thus  opened,  not  only  with  one  movement  of  a  lever,  but  each  one  is 
unfastened  at  the  same  instant,  a  feature  which  saves  time  and  prevents 
the  chance  of  the  clamps  binding  on  one  set  of  doors  from  the  spring  of 
the  cotton  after  the  other  set  has  been  unfastened. 

The  top  block  being  run  out  on  rollers  to  the  side  of  the  press,  gives 
the  tramper  the  advantage  of  standing  upright  in  the  box  when  it  is 
nearly  full  of  cotton,  the  timbers  on  top  to  hold  the  press  together 
being  to  one  side  of  the  box. 

The  gearing  on  this  press  and  the  principle  of  its  operation  is  the 
same  as  the  Boss  No.  2,  with  the  difference  that  only  one  screw  is  used. 
This  screw  pulls  as  in  the  Boss  No.  2,  and  the  upright  timbers  do  the 
pushing.  These  timbers  being  set  in  the  follower  near  its  ends,  insures 
an  even  bale  and  prevents  the  creening  complained  of  in  single  screw 
presses. 

It  will  be  observed  also  that  in  this  press  the  power  is  applied  at 
the  end  of  the  press,  which  is  claimed  by  many  users  as  an  advantage, 
enabling  them  to  set  the  press  with  the  side  toward  the  gin  so  that  the 
cotton  can  be  pushed  directly  from  the  condenser  into  the  baling  box.

The  Boss  Press  No.  2. 


The  frame  of  this  press  is  identical  with  that  of  the  Boss.  A 
superficial  examination  of  the  two  presses,  standing  side  by  side  in  opera- 
tion, would  show  no  difference  between  them  ;  but  upon  a  more  careful 
examination  of  the  Boss  No.  2,  the  two  screws  inside  the  box  would  be 
seen  to  be  pulling  instead  of  pushing.  In  this  press  we  employ  the 
tensile  strength  of  the  screws,  by  pulling  up  the  cross  piece,  shown  in 
the  cut  at  the  lower  end  of  the  screws,  which  itself  pushes  up  the  fol- 
lower blocks  by  means  of  the  upright  timbers  at  the  sides  of  the  screws. 
These  two  pieces,  pushing  with  equal  force  on  the  follower  at  its 
extremities,  insure  a  perfectly  rigid  motion  of  the  follower,  and  con- 
sequently an  even  bale.  The  gearing  of  this  press,  as  in  the  Boss,  rests 
in  a  solid  bed-plate,  and  is,  therefore,  not  subject  to  such  variations  as 
may  occur  from  the  shrinkage  of  the  timbers.  Like  the  Boss  Press,  the 
Boss  No.  2  is  adapted  to  any  kind  of  power,  and  has  given  perfect  satis- 
faction under  all  circumstances.  The  principle  on  which  this  press  is 
built,  enabling  us  to  make  it  lighter  and  sell  it  cheaper  than  the  Boss 
Press,  is  that  wrought  iron  will  stand  a  strain  of  thirty-four  tons  per 
square  inch  when  applied  as  in  this  press.  When  applied  as  in  other 
presses,  it  will  stand  a  load  of  only  sixteen  tons  per  square  inch,  this 
being  the  difference  between  tensile  and  compressing  strain.

The  Eclipse  Press. 


In  the  Eclipse  Press  we  present  the  strongest  possible  wooden 
framed  Press.  The  structure  is  designed  to  utilize  the  entire  strength 
of  the  wood,  and  will  stand  the  greatest  strain  that  such  a  frame  can 
be  made  to  resist.  The  working  principle  of  this  Press  is  the  same 
as  the  "  Boss  No.  2,"  and  in  fact  it  is  the  same  Press  with  solid 
wooden  columns  instead  of  the  iron  rods  surrounded  by  wood. 

"We  do  not  recommend  or  approve  of  a  wooden  framed  Press. 
"We  manufacture  them  only  to  meet  the  competitive  prices  of  other 
manufacturers  who  do  not  use  the  iron  frame.  In  every  case  it  is 
advisable  to  pay  the  slight  difference  in  the  price  and  get  an  iron 
frame  Press,  but  if  a  wooden  frame  is  desired  we  offer  the  Eclipse  as 
the  best.

Description  of  Graveley  Press. 


Where  parties  desire  a  cheaper  press  than  any  of  the  Boss  presses* 
we  recommend  the  Graveley.  It  is  operated  entirely  by  gearing,  and 
there  are  no  ropes  to  break,  and  no  complicated  machinery  to  be  con- 
tinually needing  repairs. 

Every  part  has  been  carefully  proportioned  to  give  the  requisite 
strength,  without  unnecessary  weight,  and  in  presenting  the  Graveley 
press  to  the  public,  we  are  able  to  offer  what  has  long  been  needed — 
namely,  a  first-class  screw  press,  for  steam  power,  which  can  be  sold 
completet  at  about  the  same  price  as  is  charged  for  the  numerous  unsat- 
isfactory combinations  of  ropes,  pulleys,  levers,  and  cogs,  which  have,  in 
many  cases,  but  little  to  recommend  them  except  the  low  price  at  which 
they  are  sold. 

The  bale  is  delivered  at  the  top  of  press.  There  are  heavy  iron  rods 
at  each  side  of  the  press,  between  the  wooden  uprights,  making  this  sub- 
stantially what  is  known  as  an  iron  frame  press. 

To  fill  the  packing  box,  the  rod  is  moved  away  from  the  top  fol- 
lower block  an  inch  or  two,  which  enables  the  block  to  be  swung  around 
on  the  rod  at  the  other  side,  thus  giving  free  and  easy  access  to  the  pack- 
ing box. 

Power  is  applied  by  one  belt,  which  runs  all  the  time,  and  the  fol- 
lower is  allowed  to  run  up,  or  down,  or  remain  stationary  by  means  of 
a  clutch  attachment  operating  suitable  gearing. 

The  manner  of  applying  the  power  in  this  press  is  the  same  as  that 
employed  in  the  Boss  No.  2,  previously  described,  the  tensile  strength 
of  the  screw  being  used.

Description  of  Hand  Press. 

There  are  a  great  many  farmers  who  cannot  advantageously  use  our 
Steam  Power  Press,  yet  want  a  press  that  will  do  their  work  satisfac- 
torily, which  can  be  purchased  at  a  small  outlay.  Our  Hand  Press  is 
designed  to  supply  this  demand,  and  the  gratifying  reception  it  has 
received  at  the  hands  of  those  who  have  used  them  proves  to  us  that  we 
have  "filled  a  long  felt  want "  by  putting  this  press  on  the  market. 

The  height  of  the  box  is  7  feet.  Size  of  bale  60  inches  long,  28 
inches  wide,  and  30  inches  deep.     The  bale  comes  out  at  the  bottom. 

This  is  a  substantial  press,  made  with  wood  frame,  and  strong 
enough  to  pack  any  ordinary  sized  bale. 

At  each  end  of  the  press  is  a  2^  inch  wrought  iron  screw,  the 
pulling  strength  of  which  is  used  in  the  operation  of  packing.  The  nut 
forms  a  crown  wheel,  geared  to  the  shaft  on  which  is  attached  the 
' '  spider  "  as  shown.  All  the  gearing  is  enclosed  in  a  cast  iron  case, 
which  prevents  it  from  clogging  with  cotton,  etc.,  and  enables  us  to 
make  heavy  bearings  for  the  shaft  and  nut,  giving  all  necessary  strength 

The  follower  block  is  strengthened  by  two  iron  bars,  extending  the 
whole  way  across,  and  having  holes  drilled  in  each  end  ;  corresponding 
with  these  holes  are  eyes  in  the  upper  end  of  each  screw,  through  which 
is  inserted  a  pin,  which  firmly  connects  the  screws  to  the  follower. 

It  will  be  observed  that  the  frame  at  one  end  is  considerably  higher 
than  at  the  other,  and  that  the  irons  of  the  follower  project  consider- 
ably at  the  higher  end,  and  are  engaged  in  a  hook  attached  to  the  frame. 
When  it  is  desired  to  put  cotton  in  the  press  the  pin  is  taken  out,  at  the 
end  which  has  not  the  hook,  while  the  screw  at  the  end  provided  with 
the  hook  is  turned  upward,  raising  the  follower  block  to  the  position  as 
shown  in  engraving.  When  the  cotton  is  ready  to  be  packed,  lower  the 
screw,  until  the  follower  can  be  again  attached  to  the  screw  at  the  other 
end,  put  in  the  pin  and  the  press  is  ready  to  pack. 

These  presses  are  especially  adapted  to  mounting  on  wheels,  the 
two  bottom  sills  constituting  the  connection  between  the  wheels.  The 
press  is  ready  to  pack  as  soon  as  stopped  without  any  changes.  We 
furnish  these  presses  as  shown  in  the  cut,  or  mounted  on  substantial 
wheels,  the  extra  cost  for  mounting  being  $50.

Direct  Acting  Steam  Presses. 


As  the  advantages  of  a  direct  acting  steam  press  will  at  once  appear 
to  any  one  acquainted  with  the  baling  of  cotton,  we  desire  merely  to  call 
attention  to  some  special  claims  we  make  for  the  press  shown  in  the  cut 
on  opposite  page  : 

1st.  A  cylinder  above  the  press  allowing  the  follower  to  be  run 
down  on  the  cotton  as  often  as  maybe  desired,  dispensing  with  tramping. 

2d.  A  cotton  box  with  door  plank  notched  to  hold  the  cotton  from 
springing  back,  and  an  additional  simple,  self-acting  eccentric  to  aid  in 
this  operation. 

3d.  Substantial  press  frame  supported  at  the  four  corners  by  strong 
iron  rods. 

4th.  A  set  of  door  fastenings  which  permits  all  doors  to  be  opened 
at  once  and  by  one  lever. 

5th.  Balanced  doors  to  prevent  their  falling  heavily  to  the  floor 
when  opened,  and  to  relieve  the  severe  strain  of  lifting  them  to  their 
places. 

6th.  A  valve  held  to  its  seat  by  the  natural  pressure  of  the  steam, 
and  not,  therefore,  subject  to  the  rapid  wear  of  any  valve  in  the  shape 
of  a  plug  cock. 

7th.   Complete  adaptability  to  one  or  two  story  gin  houses. 

8th.  Kequiring  no  pit  for  its  operation,  thereby  saving  the  annoy- 
ance which  arises  from  this  cause  in  low  countries. 

9th.  A  cylinder  of  30  inches  diameter,  giving  an  area  of  steam  press- 
ure one-third  larger  than  any  other  steam  press  built,  and  requiring, 
therefore,  one-third  less  pressure  of  steam  in  boiler. 

10th.  Another  size  cylinder,  26i  inches  in  diameter,  but  still  larger 
than  any  other  heretofore  offered,  for  those  who  for  special  reasons  may 
require  high  pressure  of  steam  in  their  boilers  any  way,  and  who  can 
thereby  save  something  in  the  first  cost. 

11th.  The  successful  operation  of  this  press  under  the  severest  tests 
to  which  presses  for  baling  cotton  will  be  subjected,  and  the  removal  of 
every  seeming  objection  to  their  complete  adaptability  to  baling  pur- 
poses. 

Finally,  a  strict  attention  to  those  smaller  details  in  the  construc- 
tion of  the  press  throughout,  which  our  experience  in  the  building  of 
over  three  thousand  presses  for  baling  cotton,  warps,  etc.,  and  the  knowl- 
edge gained  thereby,  has  enabled  us  to  give  this  press. 

We,  therefore,  present  this  press  to  the  trade  confident  that  it  is 
without  a  peer  in  the  market  to-day.

The  working  principle  of  this  press  is  the  same  as  that  of  our  No.  2 
Boss  Cotton  Press,  so  well  and  favorably  known  throughout  the  cotton 
belt.  This  principle  consists  in  the  use  of  the  tensile  or  pulling  strength 
of  the  screws,  the  ratio  of  which  to  the  pushing  strength  is  as  thirty- 
four  to  sixteen.  The  superior  strength  of  this  press  will  therefore  at 
once  appear,  and  our  experience  of  the  special  strains  required  in  baling 
has  enabled  us  to  give  to  it  throughout  a  proportionate  strength  which 
no  amount  of  theoretical  figuring  could  establish.  In  appearance  it  is 
the  most  attractive  press  we  build. 

The  pulley  can  be  driven  from  the  main  shaft,  tne  press  being 
moved  up  or  down  or  allowed  to  run  idle  by  means  of  a  direct  and  pos- 
itive clutch  arrangement,  which  has  been  successfully  tested  on  all  our 
presses.  When  it  is  desired  to  use  the  open  press  the  doors  and  box  can 
be  easily  removed  without  disturbing  the  other  parts,  and  extra  platens 
are  furnished  for  the  open  bales.  t -  %. -=■  -r^^

Liddell's 
Patent  Doubly  Adjustable  Hanger. 


Patented  March  2jth,  1883. 


The  above  cut  represents  a  hanger  which  for  convenience  of  adjustment  and 
strength,  will  be  found  to  meet  all  requirements,  and  to  possess  advantages  over  all 
other  adjustable  hangers.  Its  production  is  the  result  of  thirty  years'  experience  in 
lining  shafts  for  cotton  mills  and  other  high-speed  machinery,  and  attention  has 
been  given  to  all  details,  so  as  to  cause  the  least  possible  delay  and  annoyance  in 
lining  and  keeping  in  line. 

In  the  first  place,  the  weight  of  the  shaft  is  suspended  on  wrought  iron 
bolts,  an  advantage  which  will  at  once  appear,  these  bolts  constituting  the  means 
of  adjustment  up  and  down  ;  and  the  heads  of  the  bolts  drop  into  sockets  to  pre- 
vent their  turning  when  the  nut  is  turned  on  the  bottom. 

Second. — The  horizontal  adjustment  is  affected  by  means  of  set  screws,  work- 
ing against  the  box,  so  that  an  adjustment  of  nearly  two  inches,  horizontally  or 
perpendicularly,  can  be  quickly  made  by  one  man  with  a  wrench. 

Third. — In  taking  down  the  sbaft,  for  putting  on  additional  pulleys,  or  for  any 
other  purpose,  the  lower  part  of  the  bearing  can  be  easily  taken  off  and  the  shaft 
dropped  down  (the  upper  half  being  held  in  position  by  the  set  screws  shown  in  cut), 
and  in  the  same  way  raised  into  its  position  without  the  trouble  of  lifting  it  first  up 
and  out  of  its  bearings,  then  horizontally  to  clear  the  hanger  and  then  lowering  it, 
going  through  the  same  difficult  process  in  placing  the  shaft  in  position  again. 

Fourth. — To  avoid  a  possibility  of  the  nuts  on  the  swing  bolts  working  down, 
ears  have  been  attached  to  the  drip  cup  in  such  a  manner  as  to  enclose  these  nuts 
and  thus  effectually  prevent  their  turning. 

Fifth. — To  insure  the  drip  cup  remaining  in  position  (without  tightly  driving 
in  pins, which  would  cause  trouble  every  time  they  had  to  be  removed),  the  pins  are 
made  with  eyes,  being  bent  at  right  angles  near  the  eye,  and  fitted  loosely  in  the 
holes;  the  eye  part  drops  down  by  its  own  weight  on  the  inside  of  the  drip  cup,  thus 
constituting  a  complete  lock  for  it.

LiddelPs  Patent  Shaft  Coupling. 


PATENTED   MARCH  27th,  1883. 

To  obtain  a  shaft  coupling  which  would  overcome  all  objections,  and  at  the 
same  time  cost  less  than  the  expensive  couplings  in  general  use,  has  been  the 
object  of  manufacturers  for  many  years,  and  a  want  keenly  felt  by  those  running 
machinery.  The  coupling  shown  above  fills  this  want,  and  at  the  same  time  the 
further  demand  for  convenience,  an  important  element,  as  it  is  frequently  desired 
to  uncouple  a  shaft  for  changing  pulleys  or  other  purposes. 

The  common  form  of  sleeve  coupling  is  used  in  a  great  many  instances  for  its 
cheapness  and  convenience,  but  is  dangerous  on  account  of  the  projecting  heads  of 
set  screws.  In  this  coupling  the  set  screws  are  entirely  covered  by  a  shield.  In 
the  cut  this  shield  is  detached,  showing  how  it  may  be  slipped  off  and  on,  being 
held  in  position  by  two  cap  screws,  running  into  the  flange  of  the  inner  sleeve. 

When  the  full  power  of  the  shaft  is  needed,  the  coupling  with  key  is  thoroughly 
effective,  while  retaining  all  the  convenience  referred  to.  This  key  is  held  firmly 
in  position  by  means  of  the  two  set  screws  shown,  while  the  other  four  afford  an 
additional  safeguard  and  also  prevent  any  endwise  movement  of  the  shaft.  We 
furnish  these  couplings  either  with  or  without  keys,  as  may  be  ordered,  and  at 
a  different  price. 

It  may  be  added  that  these  couplings  can  be  and  are  frequently  used  for 
pulleys  where  they  happen  to  be  in  the  right  position  for  this  purpose.
